Outside, temperatures dipped to fifteen below zero. Inside, the atmosphere was anything but frosty. Some 60 people had gathered in the cavernous production area of a commercial bakery for the winter meeting of the St. Paul Bread Club in St. Paul, Minn.



The St. Paul Bread Club includes a yeasty community of home bakers, who bring a pot of soup and their newest bread creation to the meetings.

Teenagers, professionals and retirees, kitchen newbies and long-time veterans of the oven wars mingle over soup and bread.





And the best part of the meeting, aside from learning from experts, is the tasting.
